Taking a trip to Tuscany? You'll want to listen to this episode with Elisa Acciai, who's been a tour guide in Florence for years. We talk about her journey from being a Concierge at a 5-Star hotel in Florence to becoming a guide in one of the world's most popular destinations, including the requirements to be licensed to do so in Italy. The balance of family/work life as well.
She'll share a few of her recommended restaurants and experiences in Florence and in the Tuscan countryside in this podcast. Best practices for tipping various services in Italy, a must for all people touring the country.
You can visit Elisa with her dearest American "sister," Astrid Ensign in September 2025 as host Chris Angelus takes a group to Tuscany to take in the Uffizi and the best historical sites in Florence with Elisa, as well as celebrating the Andrea Falaschi's family's 100th year as the village butcher in San Miniato. It will be quite an insider's trip featuring the people near and dear to PFA's Astrid, who lived for years in Tuscany, but now makes Portland her home.
